Old New York
Wall Street to the Seaport — the city before the city.
Downtown is the oldest square mile in New York: Washington's oath at Federal Hall, Hamilton's grave at Trinity, a farewell toast at Fraunces Tavern, and cobblestones laid in 1658. History with your sneakers on.
The stops
Take the oath: one hand raised beside Washington's statue, on the spot where he was sworn in (1789).
Find Alexander Hamilton's grave. One-line freestyle about him, videoed. Keep it tasteful — he's right there.
Bull-market pose. +5 for matador flair. Respect the photo line — this is the city's longest-running queue.
Photo where Washington bid farewell to his officers (1783). A solemn colonial toast is encouraged.
Panorama of New York's first paved street (1658) from one cobbled end — every teammate visible.
Manhattan's oldest surviving church (1766). Find the oldest legible year on a churchyard stone — photo it, quietly.
Team photo with tall-ship rigging behind you — best sea-shanty face wins the frame.
Walk out to the first tower. Team salute to the Roeblings under the Gothic arches.
